There´s a Van Morrison lyric that goes, "...listening to Debussy in the morning when contemplation is best..." and, sure, what I listen to depends on the time of day. I like to start out with something clean and light; Zap Mama, the Beach Boys or something acoustic. After breakfast I´m ready for something that rocks a bit more, but I don´t normally play jazz until the sun has gone down - unless of course I´m in the car, in which case fusion/afrobeat/jambands are essential to pump up that go-get-em adrenaline and drown out the weird rattling noise from the front suspension.
